Two Wheelbases
Transit Chassis Cab models come in two wheelbases to match the particular requirements of your business. See which one is right for you:
3,505mm wheelbase with typical upfit body lengths of 3,048mm-3,658mm.
3,962mm wheelbase with typical upfit body lengths of 3,962mm-4,572mm.
Uniladder Construction
The foundation of the Chassis Cab is an innovative uniladder structure. The fully welded platform underlies the cab, with frame rails reaching from the front to the rear bumper mounts. Both the cab area and uniladder frame rails are reinforced with Boron steel for added strength. For increased adaptability, standard frame rail extension adapters allow an upfitted body to accommodate additional cargo through extended length.

Tested and Built Ford Tough®!
The Transit Chassis Cab has been tested on roads and highways at temperature extremes from -40 to 50 degrees Celsius. We also used trucks driven by robots at our testing facility, allowing us to compress years of daily abuse into a mere few months. Our objective: enable Transit to take on the toughest challenges of strength and dependability on your everyday jobs.
Towing Features
Transit has a maximum towing capability of 3.4 tons*, and offers available features to help make towing convenient.

Power at your Command
The challenge of operating at high performance while helping to keep costs low has gotten easy, thanks to powerplants designed to deliver impressive performance. The standard 3.7L V6 is engineered with twin independent variable cam timing technology for responsive performance across a wide power band.
3.7L Ti-VCT V6
The standard 3.7L V6 delivers responsive power with 275 horsepower and 352 Nm. of torque along with impressive performance, thanks in large part to twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) technology.
6-Speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission
The SelectShift feature gives you two modes of operation. Progressive Range Select lets you toggle on the shift lever to reduce the range of available gears while in Drive. Or choose Full Manual function that lets you pull the shift lever into “M” for manual mode and use the same toggle switch to select the gear desired.

Alternative Fuel Capability
Compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane autogas are becoming increasingly popular choices for those looking to reduce emissions. That’s why the 3.7L V6-powered Transit offers the CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package.* Included are hardened exhaust valves and valve seats for improved wear resistance and durability for gaseous fuel systems.
*Vehicle will be equipped with the standard factory gasoline fuel system. This package does not include compressed natural gas/propane fuel tanks and lines, etc. See your dealer for details.

Work efficiently, productively, profitably.
Working productively isn’t about working hard – your Transit is engineered to do that. For your part, it’s about working smart, every hour of every day. That’s why every feature of the Ford Transit is carefully designed to maximize efficiency and versatility, making your Transit the ideal tool for any job.
Driver-centric Interior
While the Transit exterior shows the energy-in-motion influence of Ford kinetic design, the interior is equally dynamic with its driver-focused attitude. The driver’s seat is adjustable to several positions, and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes to provide the most comfortable position for the driver. Optional heated seats add to both the driver’s and passenger’s comfort. The car-like instrument panel features ergonomic gauges and controls that are easy to read and reach. There’s plenty of storage space as well for carrying a wide assortment of items.
Available High-Capacity Upfitter Switches
It’s easy to use add-on systems with these available switches. Four circuits can operate high-power relays for heavy-duty accessories. They’re integrated into the instrument panel for fast power access and upfit operation.
Programmable Battery Guard
The available battery guard helps keep you from getting stranded with a dead battery. Set a time for battery use without the engine running, create profiles for battery use (heavy or light use, with and without additional batteries) and protect your battery from starter motor overload.
